Arteta's Arsenal are as good as the Invincibles?! Well, stats say so...
Reading Time: 2min | Sun. 28.05.23. | 09:46
If they beat Wolves today, the Gunners will be on 26 victories - the same amount in their title-winning 2001/02 and 2003/04 campaigns
As one witty TV pundit once said, 'stats are like a bikini - reveals everything, shows nothing.'
The approval of such a saying comes from England, as the stats show Mikel Arteta's Arsenal could match Arsene Wenger's remarkable sides that won two Premier Leagues some 20 years ago.

Even though they, in many's opinions, bottled it, Arsenal could still finish the season with their joint-record amount of Premier League wins.
Should they beat Wolves at the Emirates on Sunday, they will be on 26 victories - the same amount they managed in their title-winning 2001/02 and 2003/04 campaigns.
And if they manage to score four past Wolverhampton, they will bring up 87 league goals, which again would equal their record set in the 2004/05 season.
Victory would also bring up 14 home wins out of 19, which would be their second-highest tally in front of their fans.
Arsenal have already notched up 12 away wins - their second-highest amount - only behind their double-winning season in 2002.

And what fans seem to forget is that Arsenal boast the second youngest squad in the division - only behind Southampton, who have been relegated to the EFL Championship.
Arteta's side are also the only team in Europe's top five leagues to have four players score ten or more league goals (Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus).
